Chapter 12 Chapter Eleven A Must-Read Ghost Story

At No. 9 Wutong Lane, the turmoil of the death of the land has subsided.Gao Wei, who couldn't stand all kinds of frights, has moved to live with Zhou Mei.She has already submitted a resignation application to the company, and in a few days she and Zhang Jun will leave the city with Zhou Mei and fly away. The house where Gao Wei lived is now lived by Zheng Chuan.He insisted on coming to stay for a while, but Gao Wei couldn't stop him. Zheng Chuan came here to meet Lin Xiaoyue.He brought his laptop, and on the first day of his stay, he sent an email to Lin Xiaoyue's mailbox.He said in the email, I am now living in your house, I feel like I am home.I read all 10 e-mails you sent me reminiscing about the past.I look forward to seeing you back home.I have been waiting for you here, just like I was waiting for you by the river or at the mouth of the town.

The first day passed, and Zheng Chuan did not receive a reply, nor did anyone appear in the house.The next day was still uneventful. The only thing worth mentioning was that there was a strong wind in the middle of the night, and an open window in the kitchen was blown "bang bang" by the wind.After Zheng Chuan got up and closed the window, he was fine. On the third day, the sun shines from the east window to the west window of the house, and then the red light is slowly extinguished, allowing the ink of the night to be painted on the window glass until the shadow of a person can be seen in the darkness.Zheng Chuan turned on the computer and unexpectedly saw a new email!

Zheng Chuan's heart skipped a beat. This email still came from the mailbox where Lin Xiaoyue sent the "past events" email——[email protected] Chuan couldn't wait to open the email, and after a hasty glance, he found that the content of this email was completely different from before.It's purely a ghost story that has nothing to do with him or Lin Xiaoyue. Zheng Chuan thinks it must be that some sender sent the wrong email address. However, Zheng Chuan always pays more attention to accidental things, regardless of whether he sent the wrong email address. , now that I have received it, I still have to read it carefully, who knows what code words are hidden in this story.Facing the computer screen, he read carefully

Email Title: A Must-Read Ghost Story Wu Jun went to City A for a business trip. After getting off the plane at night, he shared a taxi with two other passengers and went into the city. The three people's large suitcases were all put in the trunk of the car.After the car entered the city, the driver sent the three guests to different hotels. Wu Jun was the second person to get off the bus. He took his big suitcase and went into the hotel.Soon after moving into the room, Wu quickly discovered that he had taken the wrong suitcase.This strange black leather suitcase is completely different from my own suitcase except for the same color, brand and other markings, and naturally the combination lock cannot be opened.Wu Jun lifted the suitcase, it was heavy, and he felt a little more at ease, because there was nothing more important in his suitcase except for a change of clothes, so he thought it would not be more valuable than this suitcase.Then, another passenger who took the wrong box will also try to find the box.

Wu Jun didn't remember the license plate of the taxi, so he had to call the Passenger Transport Management Office. After inquiring about the situation, the other party told him not to worry, it was almost midnight now, and they would retrieve his suitcase within tomorrow. Wu Jun prepared to go to bed with peace of mind.He went into the bathroom to take a shower, and while he was taking a shower, he suddenly saw a woman in the mirror!Because the mist on the mirror was too thick, the figure of the woman was blurred.Wu Jun was shocked, and turned his head to look at the door of the bathroom, but there was no one there.Looking at the mirror again, the woman is still there, standing behind him!He hurriedly wiped the water mist on the mirror with a towel, and while wiping, he saw the woman turn around and run out of the bathroom door.

Wu Jun followed out, and the outer door was locked well.The room was clear at a glance, and it was impossible to hide people. He checked the inside of the closet, behind the TV cabinet and under the bed, and there was no suspicious trace.He thought he was blindsided.So I put this matter aside, turned off the light and went to bed. After sleeping for an unknown amount of time, Wu Jun felt cold air blowing on his face.He opened his eyes, and suddenly saw a woman standing in front of the bed and bending over to look at him.The woman's face was covered with blood, and there were no eyeballs in the two empty eye sockets, like two big black holes.With a scream, Wu Jun rolled down from the other side of the bed, then got up and went around the end of the bed trying to run to the door, but he tripped over something, fell heavily on the ground and couldn't get up all at once.When he finished thinking, the female ghost would come and strangle him to death.However, there was no movement around, Wu Jun slowly got up from the ground and turned on the light.There was nothing in the room, and it was the black suitcase by the wall that tripped him to the ground just now.

Wu Jun finally had doubts about this strange suitcase.He took out a knife and pried open the lock on the box, and then opened the long zipper. With a bang, a bloody human head rolled out of the box!Wu Jun felt dizzy, his legs went limp and he knelt on the ground, unable to move.He saw that the head was a woman, and in the bloody mess, the head suddenly opened its mouth and said, "I've been looking for you everywhere, why don't you go home?" God, isn't that his wife's voice?Wu Jun was away all year round for business, and his wife was killed by burglars three years ago.At this moment, Wu Jun's head fell to the ground with a "buzz".

The next day, people from the Passenger Transport Management Office found the taxi driver who took Wu Jun.The driver said it was true, but he took two passengers instead of the three people Wu Jun said.One of the two guests got off at the hotel in the south of the city, and the other was Wu Jun. He was going to the west of the city, so he got off at the end.As for the suitcase, the driver said that there was only one in the trunk of the car, and that was Wu Jun's black suitcase.The person who got off in Chengnan only carried a handbag and didn't use the trunk at all. Something was wrong, people from the Passenger Transport Management Office called Wu Jun but no one answered.Not long after, news came from the police that Wu Jun died inexplicably in the hotel room with a horrific expression on his face.The black suitcase he was carrying showed no signs of prying. It contained his change of clothes, his air ticket to City A, etc., as well as the money he carried with him, so the possibility of murder for money was ruled out.The cause of death is under investigation by police...

Zheng Chuan felt horrified after reading this story.He quickly shut down the computer, as if the characters in the story and the talking head would roll out of the computer. After turning off the computer, he seemed to have a sense of security.Only then did he start to ponder over that story, but he couldn't think of any connection between it and Lin Xiaoyue who he was waiting for.Lin Xiaoyue is gentle and complete, so far she is just floating around like a shadow.She e-mailed precious memories to him; she left combs and mirrors from her early years in his office and then quietly took them back; she read him when she came out of the grave; In order to keep them close together... Zheng Chuan also encountered a terrifying image, but it must not be Lin Xiaoyue, but another wild ghost.

It was late at night, and Zheng Chuan was going to bed.He went into the bathroom to take a shower, saw the mirror by accident and remembered the story.At this time, the mirror was also filled with mist. He wiped the mirror with a towel, and standing facing him was a haggard middle-aged man with disheveled hair and dull eyes. Zheng Chuan breathed hot air at this man , his face suddenly blurred on the mirror, Zheng Chuan didn't want to see himself become like this. Zheng Chuan continued to take a shower, but kept turning his head back and forth. He looked at the bathroom door and then at the mirror. He was safe, and he breathed a sigh of relief after wrapping himself in a towel.

Back in the bedroom, Zheng Chuan immediately turned off the lights and went to sleep, but couldn't fall asleep after tossing and turning.Suddenly, he heard a slight noise, opened his eyes, and saw a figure standing in front of the bed.It was dark in the room, but he sensed that it was a woman. "Who?" Zheng Chuan subconsciously asked in surprise.The black figure didn't answer, but suddenly lowered his face, and the moment he was about to touch the tip of his nose, Zheng Chuan saw that the face was completely a skeleton!He screamed and rolled to the other side of the bed. At the same time, he reached for the light switch. After fumbling for a while, he turned on the light and looked up to see that there was no one in the room.However, the bedroom door was wide open, indicating that someone had indeed entered and exited just now. Zheng Chuan got out of bed, walked out of the bedroom with trembling legs to check, and suddenly saw a black suitcase in the living room.He remembered the story that appeared in the mailbox, so he walked over to pick up the suitcase, which was really heavy.He took a few steps back, not daring to touch it again, he knew that if he opened the suitcase, someone's head would roll out. In this situation, Zheng Chuan felt a strong sense of suffocation. He opened his mouth to inhale, not knowing what to do.He lives here to meet Lin Xiaoyue, but why is he always haunted by wild ghosts? At this moment, Zheng Chuan heard a door knock from behind.He turned around and saw a woman standing at the door of the study, facing him.The woman was dressed in a black dress, and her face had only two rows of exposed teeth and two empty eye sockets like black holes. Zheng Chuan didn't scream, didn't shout, didn't fall or run away, as if he was nailed into the house, his lips trembled, but he couldn't make a sound.His legs no longer belonged to him like sticks. "Go and open that box!" the skeleton-like woman ordered him. Zheng Chuan wanted to say no, but still couldn't make a sound.Since there have been ghosts in this study before, Zheng Chuan has never been in the study since he moved in this time, and he did not expect that there are wild ghosts living in it all the time. The skeleton woman sneered, she took a step, and walked slowly towards Zheng Chuan.Suddenly, the blood that had been solidified surged in Zheng Chuan's body, and spurted out from his throat with a scream, he turned to one side and picked up a large vase on the coffee table, and poured all his strength into the female ghost's mouth. Smash it on the head. The female ghost fell limply, with red blood on the ground.Zheng Chuan saw the pool of blood spinning around him, as did the furniture and walls... His body swayed, and he fell slowly beside the black suitcase.He shouted in his heart, Lin Xiaoyue, come and help me up... On the 24th floor of Fangcheng Building, Gao Wei was reading in Zhou Mei's room.Since leaving the fearful house at No. 9 Wutong Lane, her mood has become lighter day by day.Thanks to Zhou Mei, she let her stay here temporarily, the two girls squeezed together, and the loneliness at night was less.Zhou Mei said that she didn't know her well at first, but later thought she was a good girl, so she made friends with her, and she was happy to go to coastal cities with them to seek new development. There are only three days left before the day of leaving and flying high, and Gao Wei has already prepared everything that needs to be prepared.Zhou Mei is going to say goodbye to some of her past friends this evening, and she probably won't be back until very late.Gao Wei didn't have any friends to say goodbye to, so he stayed in Zhou Mei's room and read a book.Living in the company actually has advantages, that is, after get off work, the surrounding environment is very quiet, which is suitable for reading some books. At this moment, Gao Wei began to visit Zhou Mei's small bookcase. She kept pulling out some books and flipping through them. The night was very quiet, and she didn't know that her hands were approaching a huge secret. She first saw Zhou Mei's graduation certificate among the books. The photo on the certificate made Gao Wei hardly recognize that this was Zhou Mei now.Zhou Mei in the photo was still a technical secondary school student, thin and childish, with an inexplicable melancholy in her brows.And now Zhou Mei is a mature woman, mellow and beautiful, really a woman who has transformed into a woman. Gao Wei put the graduation certificate back on the bookcase, and when she took out another book, the title of this book made her heart skip a beat—"Past Events", how could it be the same as the email she had seen from Lin Xiaoyue? And in the empty space exposed by the bookcase, an old wooden comb and a small round mirror shocked her! This is the comb and mirror that once appeared in Zheng Chuan's office. Behind the mirror are embedded photos of Lin Xiaoyue's early years.What's going on? Gao Wei recalled the first time he came to the 24th floor to buy clothes and met Zhou Mei. At noon the next day, Zhou Mei came to her office to play. He also visited Zheng Chuan's office. Could it be Zhou Mei? Put these two things in the office? How could she have things from Lin Xiaoyue’s early years? Although this kind of comb and mirror can still be bought in small department stores, where did the photos behind the mirror come from? ? Gao Wei's heart was pounding, she hurriedly put the comb and small round mirror she was looking at back into the bookcase, then sat on the chair and read the book "The Past". On the cover, the author's name "Lin Xiaoyue" made Gao Wei's hands tremble.There are many photos of Lin Xiaoyue in her early years printed on the first two pages of the book, but one of the larger photos has been cut out.This is a collection of Lin Xiaoyue's essays recalling the past, each essay is written in a letter style, Gao Wei found the email she had seen in the book... Suddenly, a letter fell out of the book.Originally, other people's letters should not be peeked at, but this letter addressed to Zhou Mei, because the sender column says "Magazine Lin Xiaoyue", aroused Gao Wei's strong shock and curiosity.Judging from the postmark, this letter was written 3 years ago. Why has Zhou Mei never heard that she knew Lin Xiaoyue?Unable to restrain his curiosity, Gao Wei took out the letter from the envelope and read it Zhou Mei: Hi! I have been thinking about you ever since I received your letter from the "Xiaoyue Mailbox" of this magazine.I asked you to come to the editorial department to have a heart-to-heart talk, but you kept crying, which made our communication not smooth.Therefore, I try to write this letter to chat with you, I hope it can be helpful to you. The first thing I want to say to you is that dwelling on your past setbacks is a great physical and mental torment for you.It is inevitable for people to be hurt in the unpredictable life, but after all, they should stand up and move on.In order to clear your mind, I want you to take a look at what happened to you with the eyes of an outsider: a 17-year-old girl who was studying, used her spare time to participate in a business promotion, and met this guy at a dinner party. general manager of the company.Because the girl drank a lot of wine at the dinner, she was taken to the hotel room by the general manager in a daze.The effect of alcohol made her fall into a deep sleep, and dimly felt that this middle-aged man possessed her, but she could no longer move.After waking up in the morning, the man had left, there were bloodstains from her body on the bed sheet, and there was a large stack of banknotes on the bedside table.She cried, she was as angry as a she-beast.She took out the business card he gave her and called the number on it. She cursed and screamed, saying she would report the case to the police.The man said that I thought you agreed to do this, and said that calling the police is not good for girls, and now that you have the money, it is reasonable to say that you are prostitution.The girl became timid, and kept silent since then, with the shame and humiliation in her heart, only thinking that one day, God would give her a chance to take revenge on that man.A year has passed, there is no chance of revenge, and it is even more difficult to have evidence to support the police.The girl fell into a depressed state and developed a feeling of self-loathing, thinking that she was a piece of shit. Well, look at this matter with the eyes of a bystander and it will be clear that you are a victim and you have no reason to look down on yourself.Even if it is difficult to hold the other party's fault due to various reasons, you have the right to fight for your normal life in the future. Next, I want to talk about how to view girls' chastity issues.You said that you later had a boyfriend, and you two were very much in love, but of course only in the stage of spiritual love.However, once you heard him comment on another girl who was not a virgin as "sucks", you were shocked, you dare not imagine your future, you broke up with him, and you swore to be celibate for the rest of your life.Here I want to tell you that love is the union of two lives, and has nothing to do with whether a girl is a virgin or not.You should love boldly. If a man doesn't think so, then he is not the one you should love, and there is no regret in breaking up. Finally, I want to talk about your current status.You said that you often have stomach pains, and you went to the hospital for a lot of examinations, but no symptoms were found; you still have insomnia, palpitations, and sweating; you can’t communicate with anyone, and you always feel that others may know about you, listen Anything other people say feels like insinuation; you also like to stay in the bathroom for a long time without coming out.I want to tell you that your current state is a manifestation of depression. You must firmly believe that you are not physically sick. You avoid interacting with people and like small spaces just to gain a sense of security.I suggest you read some psychological counseling books, which can help you overcome depression.At the same time, you need some medication-assisted treatment, but this requires a doctor's prescription.Don't be afraid of the psychiatric department in the hospital——in fact, most people have different degrees of mental illness. If you seek help from a doctor boldly, your depression will be eliminated. I believe in your confidence and courage. Enclosed with this letter is a collection of my essays "Past Events", in which I write about my personal experiences in my early years, from which you will see that I have also been traumatized by life.A twist of fate made it impossible for me to get back together with my early boyfriend after breaking up.Although we are all in the same city now, and the Fangcheng Building where his company is located is only a stone’s throw away from my place, nearly 30 years have passed, and the dream of the early years will always be just a dream. Let’s talk about this first, please give me a call after reading, and we will make an appointment for an interview. I have hosted "Xiaoyue Mailbox" for a long time, let us become friends, shall we? Lin Xiaoyue After Gao Wei read the letter, he was deeply shocked by Zhou Mei's misfortune many years ago.Zhou Mei, who is so strong, hardworking, and successful in her career, has experienced a lot of setbacks.What's more, it was Lin Xiaoyue who helped her at that time.No wonder she often sees Lin Xiaoyue's soul wandering around recently.Gao Wei remembered that Zhou Mei once said that she had an older sister who was the best person in the world, but she passed away, and now she visits the grave every year.At the time, Gao Wei thought that Zhou Mei was talking about the eldest sister in her family, but now it seems that she was talking about Lin Xiaoyue. However, who was the man who took away Zhou Mei's virginity and plunged her into depression many years ago?Gao Wei's heart beat wildly when she thought of this, because she thought of Zheng Chuan for no reason, is it possible?She remembered the ghost that Zheng Chuan saw in the study room of the rented house, and this house was transferred to her by Zhou Mei. Did Zhou Mei leave another room key?The landlord of this house happens to be Lin Xiaoyue, how can there be such a coincidence in the world?Zhou Mei and Lin Xiaoyue must have kept in touch, so she rented this house later, and renting this house was purely for a revenge plan... Once a bold idea is made, there will be more and more evidence to support this idea. Gao Wei suddenly remembered Zhou Mei's nightmare last night: "I want to make him schizophrenic." Gao Wei jumped up from the chair, it was 12:15 at night, Zhou Mei went out to meet friends and never came back, could it be... Gao Wei's heart was suddenly very nervous, she rushed out the door without thinking.Soon, she had already run out of Fangcheng Building, hailed a taxi, got on the bus and said eagerly to the driver: "No. 9, Wutong Lane." When Gao Wei ran up to the 6th floor, her legs felt weak. She had spent many frightening nights here, and there will be no more terrible things tonight.She knocked on the door, but there was no movement inside.Knock again, Zheng Chuan's voice sounded inside: "Is it Lin Xiaoyue? You are finally here!" The door opened, and Gao Wei rushed in one step at a time. "Who are you?" Zheng Chuan asked her in a daze.Gao Wei knew that something terrible had happened, and she saw the woman lying on the ground and her own black suitcase at a glance.Because Zhou Mei's room was too small, she put the suitcase in the study and came to pick it up when she was about to leave. Why is it placed in the middle of the living room now? Gao Wei squatted down beside the lying woman, her terrifying face startled Gao Wei, but she immediately saw that it was a mask.She reached out to take off the mask, "Zhou Mei, what's wrong with you?" Gao Wei exclaimed. Gao Wei immediately called Tan Xiaoying, and within a quarter of an hour, the ambulance from the hospital had arrived.When several medical staff carried Zhou Mei onto the stretcher, Tan Xiaoying who was standing by the side held Gao Wei's hand tightly, and asked in a trembling voice, "What's going on, what's going on?" This terrible event changed the fate of Zhou Mei and Zheng Chuan.Three days later, Zhou Mei still did not wake up in the hospital. Her brain was severely damaged. The doctor said that the possibility of waking up was 50%, but they will try their best to rescue her.When Zheng Chuan returned to his own home, he no longer recognized his family and friends, but he was still proficient in typing while sitting in front of the computer every day.He was writing a letter to Lin Xiaoyue, although no one could understand the typed text.Occasionally, Zheng Chuan raised his head from the computer, his hazy eyes seemed to hide his love and nostalgia for a certain past time...
